Report: Internet Explorer 12 Will Be A Major Update With New UI And Support For Extensions

In the leaked Windows 9 screenshots, we noticed that build 9834 still has the old Internet Explorer 11 in it. Previously, it was reported that Internet Explorer 12 will have a all new look in the upcoming version. Based on the response from Microsoft Connects website, it looked like Microsoft may revamp the UI of desktop IE with the next release of the browser. Today, Neowin reported that Microsoft has all new design for Internet Explorer 12 and it looks a lot like Chrome and Firefox. The main change is that URL bar will now appear below the tab bar. Currently, URL bar and the tabs bar are on the same line in IE11. Also, as you expect it will have a flat Metro look to it.

Another main improvement comes in the area of extensibility. Microsoft has added support for extensions in Internet Explorer 12. Hopefully, someone will leak the new look of IE12. Can’t wait to try it out!
